The wording in the view finder flashing and the camera take the picture
Hi Steven! Can you elaborate a bit more about the issue? What exactly is the camera saying in the viewfinder? There are a number of things which may cause a camera to not take a photo. You may be trying to focus on an item that is closer than the close focusing distance of the lens you are using. The camera may be set on timer mode and it it trying to take a delayed photo. There are several other possibilities. Worst case scenario, try setting your camera to defaults and try again. Just realize this will clear any custom settings. Good luck!
